Women and children collect water after an underground Wasa pipe cracked in Chittagong's Agrabad area. Due to a scarcity, many collect water this way in the port city. But water also gets wasted because of the cracks in the old pipes, which are badly in need of repair or replacement. The leakage is also deteriorating the road surface as the water remains stagnant due to a clogged drainage system. Photo: Anurup Kanti Das
